Barcelona identify 26-year-old full-back as top target but must pay €25m to get the deal done

Barcelona have placed Fiorentina full-back Dodo at the top of their list of targets for the summer transfer window, according to a report from Fichajes.

The Catalan club is in urgent need of reinforcements in the right-back position, and Dodo, with his impressive qualities, is seen as the perfect fit for the club’s strategy moving forward.

Interestingly enough, his performances have caught the attention of several top European clubs, but Barcelona are determined to take the lead in securing his signature.

Dodo as the ideal fit for Barcelona
Barcelona’s interest in Dodo is part of a well-defined plan to strengthen the right-back spot and allow Jules Kounde to return to a more central role in defence.

Kounde has proven to be a valuable asset, but he is not a natural right-back. Bringing in a specialist like Dodo would provide a long-term solution, while also allowing Kounde to focus on his preferred position in the heart of the defence.
